Great. - Gustavo, was our guide and an excellent friend! He left us very quiet, and was super attentive, friendly, acquainted with the places and takes some wonderful photos... if I come back I want his company!

Don't hesitate and do it!! - I highly recommend this experience! Do not hesitate!!! The genius guide gave us a lot of information about each place we passed through. He kept the group entertained every minute! Very good vibes. Very rich breakfast! We went to eat at Casa Nómadas, the food was 10/10, one dish was tastier than the other! Very tasty crab. Federico the cook is a genius, I highly recommend his food! And Agustín was super attentive at all times to how we were. The truth is mega recommended! I am happy to have done it!
